06 TEC GROUP | AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR BUSINESS

Capability in Engineering 07TEC Group International Manufacturing, Fabrication and construction expertise


PMC/EPC:Tec Group International have been at the forefront of recruitment into the Construction market for the Energy Sector.

The key to our success has been our continual success with the large PMC and EPC companies in the sector.

We have been able to supply those companies with the very best global talent in Design through to commissioning of any large structures. Be it rigs or refineries, on shore or offshore, we know the very best people.

In the Middle East and in particular in the UAE, we have a large network of candidates and clients who have major fabrication and construction yards that service their projects in region. Warehouse and yard managers are therefore key to the success of the project.

TGI track in real time the progress of important projects for current or prospective clients in the PMC and EPC area so that we know when clients will need personnel and who they will need.

Manufacturing and Fabrication – Sub-contractors:Essential to any successful PMC/EPC project is the procurement of partners who manufacture and fabricate materials for the major construction works. TGI have a large portfolio of clients and candidate’s alike. Fabrication and construction managers are key to the leadership of such contracts with major PMC and EPC clients. TGI are in a unique position to service all areas of the construction process from design through to build, commissioning and maintenance. Including the acquisition of materials and manpower during the full construction cycle.

TGI understand the process undertaken once an award is given by an owner/operator in the oil and gas, Power and Utilities sector:

Engineering Design: Conceptual, FEED, Basic and Detailed

Procurement: Materials, subcontractors for manufacture, fabricated materials for construction and fleet

Construction: Pre-fabrication, Fabrication in both the EPC and the Subcontractors to the EPC’S. Field/Project and yard based construction and the logistics fleet by sea, air, land to the eventual project site

TGI have the capability to staff major EPC projects from design to commissioning providing the best talent all the way through the process into the PMC and EPC businesses as well as the Subcontractors working in partnership. We understand construction and all the components of a successful project.

Executive SearchYour key hires

11

Some hires are so critical to the growth of a company, that they require an approach above and beyond ordinary recruiting methods. Our executive search team use an approach that offers our clients access to talent not normally available in the market.

Our search strategy

Our consultants will work around the details of your requirement to construct a campaign that offers the best results. A typical assignment will include;

Assignment Brief; you tell us what you’re looking for Potential Target Pool; we agree target companies Suitable names; we present to you a target list Approach and Initial Screening; we make contact and qualify interest Full interview and testing suite; interested candidates are formally interviewed and

tested (where relevant) First shortlist; suitable candidates are presented in a shortlist for you to interview Final Shortlist; final interviews are arranged and managed Offer stage; we work with you to complete the offer and secure preferred candidate

Why Executive Search?

You mitigate riskEvery recruitment process is subject to risk. When a company commits various decision makers to the selection process, it is important to ensure that this results in a hire. By engaging with our search team, you can be sure that we will take a completely tailored approach that is most relevant – but above all – most likely to result in the right hire. Furthermore, when you engage our candidates through executive search, they will be exclusive to your hiring process.

You save timeWe do the hard work. We map the market. We provide the shortlist. We manage the offer and ensure success. You simply need to select the right profile, conduct interviews and chose the preferred candidate.

You save moneyOur approach is all about saving your time and mitigating risk. Our clients’ commitment to the process ensures that both sides focus on the end goal. This approach offers the highest chance of success, saving money and adding value to your company’s talent profile.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH


Permanent SelectionEmployees. For the long-term

12

We understand the need to attract and retain the best talent. The pursuit of long-term employees has never been more critical to the future stability of our clients. For this reason we have consultants who focus on – and truly understand – permanent recruitment.

How we work

We take time to build lasting relationships with our clients, to understand their culture and to properly represent them. We don’t begin work on a permanent vacancy until we are totally confident that we can make a strong representation of the opportunity to potential candidates.

Understanding Permanent Selection

In an industry where the best talent is hard to find, our business has always been about detail. Our permanent consultants perform the following;

1. A detailed understanding of our client’s requirement. We don’t just read the job specification – we speak to you. We understand it. Our qualification process allows us to see beyond the bullet points and uncover the details that make every vacancy unique

2. An intimate understanding of our client’s business. Briefing a potential candidate on the job is just one part of the process. Being able to speak passionately and confidently about why their career prospects are better off working for you ensures commitment and enthusiasm from the start

3. A high level of screening. Picking the serious career movers from the ‘window shoppers’ allows us to represent the right candidates. Furthermore, we need to be absolutely sure that anyone we present our clients can absolutely do the job.

4. Consultation throughout the process: Our consultants are qualified to advise both client and candidate through every stage of the interview lifecyle. From initial briefing to offer management.

Guaranteeing our work

We are confident that our selection process will ensure our clients are only presented with committed and suitable candidates. We accept that this cannot be 100% fool proof; we are dealing with people – circumstances can change. To ensure total confidence, we offer our clients a 12 week guarantee for permanent placements, offering total piece of mind.

PERMANENT SELECTION


Contractor HireShort to long-term. Flexible. Risk-free

13

The Energy industry provides opportunities to talented individuals on a short term basis. Due to the project-orientated nature of the sector, many professionals seek employment on this basis. TEC Group International has supported this type of work for many years and for this reason we are able to offer contractors a variety of options for employment.

TEC Group International supports contracts domestically and internationally

The benefits to our clients of taking on a contractor;

1. A risk-free alternative to hiring someone permanently. As an when a project ends, or work slows, clients avoid redundancy or relocating employees

2. Immediate response to requirements. Where projects are critical, we can provide a suitable contractor normally within a matter of hours

3. Where a project requires someone for a fixed period of time, for a consultancy, study or other

TEC Group has over 250 active contractors working in various locations throughout the world. We support their ability to work by providing the following services;

Full Immigration Support Local Employment Structure In-country Payroll In-country accountancy services (Tax and Social Security) Third Party Indemnity and Liability Insurances Meet and Greet Travel Arrangements, Car Hire, Accommodation Security and Logistical Support

PERMANENT SELECTION


Outsourced. PayrollWe underpin your HR and Recruitment function.

14

Regardless of the size, location or trading history of a client, there are instances where TEC Group provides a service that goes beyond the core “search and select” recruitment model. From providing payroll of contractors and temporary workers, to the secondment of a recruiter to the offices of our client, we are used to creating bespoke solutions to the individual need.

Payrolling

As of March 2015, TEC Group manages the payroll of 265 contractors and temporary workers in 16 countries.

Asides weekly and monthly payroll, we are also required to ensure that all local taxes, social security, withholding tax, corporation tax and other local regulatory measures are compliant. This is a process so important to our clients’ operations and to the livelihood of our contractors, that we cannot get it wrong. Where we are in country (UK, EU, USA, Iraq, UAE, Romania, Canada), it’s our direct responsibility to ensure this is complete. Where we are not, we use a highly-select list of partners who enable us to do it.

We have clients for whom we do this on their behalf. You will see examples of this in the case studies supplementary document attached to this proposal.

Outsourcing

As with payrolling, we have clients whose needs require them to outsource part of, or all, of their recruitment to TEC Group. This usually involves one or more recruiter working onsite, or remotely, on a part-time or full-time basis. There is no set format for this process and it is entirely based on the actual need. Our case studies included with this document will describe this in a working example. TEC Group’s Business Support

TEC Group has 11 professional support staff located between London, Dubai and Houston. They have extensive experience of supporting all facets of payroll, insurance, tax and other support. The team is led by 2 managers who have a combined 24 years of supporting contractors.

TEC Group also supports – as well as our 45 consultants – a number of PAYE (or similar) temporary workers.

At TEC Group EMEA, we like to offer complete transparency to our clients. With this in mind, our client progression model is highly relevant to how we would approach this project. The Client Progression model demonstrates how we enhance our services as we grow our relationship with the client. In the typical cases, it would look like this:

TEC Group EMEA Client Progression model

This model demonstrates that our clients’ commitment to using us as a preferred partner leads to us enhancing our services and offering reduced rates.

However, as a business we are willing to expedite this process and move towards the full suite of services so long as there is an agreement in place that provides TEC Group EMEA with suitable ownership of your project and vacancies and the access to capture your requirements.

Conclusion

We sincerely hope that you can consider us as a valued recruitment partner. Your partnership would mean a great deal to our business. TGI as a business is in constant pursuit of excellence in both delivery and in client relations.

I hope that this proposal serves as the first step towards a long and fruitful business relationship. Our mission:

“To be recognised and rewarded by our clients as the leader of permanent and manpower staffing services in the MENA energy market.”

With respect and regards,

Grant Gibson

Case Studies

Case Study # 1New territory. Time-sensitive. Business-critical

Company: Talisman Energy

Location: Algeria

Date: 2013

Background

Talisman, through their partner Pertamina (Indonesian NOC) acquired significant assets in Algeria, a region in which they had never operated. They were under pressure to identify and secure the appointment of 6 key, senior level, personnel, who without securing, they would not have been able to proceed.

Services Provided

TEC Group were retained by Talisman to conduct a high-level, time-critical search to identify and appoint these 6 people. The project was challenging and troublesome in that the very professionals they were approaching were unconvinced initially by Talisman’s lack of experience in a dangerous region. It was necessary for TEC Group to represent Talisman in an effective and persuasive manner, whilst protecting the sensitive nature of the project – given its importance. Our team had to balance the principle of selling the idea to a finite pool of highly-experienced potential candidates, whilst reassuring them that the business was serious, safe and worth leaving their jobs for.

We assigned an experienced research consultant to the project full-time. He spent 8 weeks mapping and shortlisting an impressive list of candidates. We then managed the subsequent interview and offer process of each position. This involved complicated travel arrangements between 4 continents, again under a challenging timescale.

Result

All positions filled. Talisman have been able to commence their operations in Algeria and have subsequently engaged TEC Group on a second search project that is currently in process.

TALISMAN ENERGY


Case Study # 2 Iraq. Full payroll.

Company: Taqa Global

Location: Kurdistan Region of Iraq

Date: 2014

Background

Taqa is an integrated energy and E&P company with assets in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG). Their business was challenged by the need to staff-up on a major facility in Iraq in a short period of time. Given the volatile nature of Iraq as a country, they needed a solution that allowed for the fast and risk-free engagement of a large team of engineers. This would include a small number already engaged by Taqa and the remainder provided through search and selection.

Services Provided

TEC Group established a branch in Erbil, KRG that is registered locally with the ministry of Natural Resources, allowing us to employ Iraqi and expatriate workers. Our business therefore has the ability to pay local social security, income tax and withholding tax on all contract and permanent workers.

Our proposal to Taqa is simple. We manage the entire process, from obtaining VISA and work permits, to payrolling and managing travel, insurances and accommodation. We now support 28 contract workers in KRG and Abu Dhabi (where their head office is based), payrolling them and managing all local taxes and insurances. We also provide full medevac, insurance and travel cover. Currently we have 11 nationalities of worker.

Result

TEC Group has become an extension of Taqa’s recruitment and staffing function. We will continue to support Taqa as the business grows alongside the project. We are now their number 1 supplier in Iraq.

Taqa Oil and Gas


Case Study # 3 Outsourced. Seconding a consultant

Company: Petrofac

Location: Sharjah and London

Date: 2014

Background

Petrofac is one of the worlds leading integrated energy service companies with particular expertise in EPC and project managing major capital projects. TEC Group supports Petrofac in 4 countries and currently manages 40 contractors engaged to Petrofac. In late 2014, Petrofac identified a critical lack of expertise in their Sharjah recruitment function at a time where they had won 2 major refinery projects that required imminent manning-up. In its then current state, the recruitment function was under pressure and was not producing the results.

Services Provided

As a long-term partner to Petrofac and as a business that understands their culture and philosophy, TEC Group have always seen ourselves as a key supporter of Petrofac. We proposed a 4-month secondment of one of our most experienced recruiters from the UK into their MENA headquarters in Sharjah.

Petrofac and TEC Group identified strict weekly and monthly KPIs which centred on results. They ensured commitment on both sides and continued open dialogue, addressing an issues as they arose.

Result

By gaining access to the key decision makers on a day to day basis – in our client’s office - as well as interfacing directly between Petrofac’s recruitment team and TEC Group’s global business, we were able to very quickly manage the shortlisting, interview, engagement and mobilisation process that resulted in 9 key hires.

We no longer have a consultant on-site as the need has softened, however the continued relationship between the consultant and Petrofac, has ensured a consistently high success rate on subsequent recruitment assignments.

Petrofac


Case Study # 4 London. High-volume contractor engagement

Company: Worley Parsons

Location: London

Date: 2014 – Present and ongoing

Background

Worley Parsons is one of the worlds leading EPC contractors. They have a fearsome reputation for the quality and delivery of their work, as well as a leading reputation as an employer. They engaged TEC Group for the first time a little over a year ago to provide contractors across Mechanical, Piping, Electrical and Instrument, Structural, Process, Projects, Operations and Construction. Their existing supplier list was tired and lacking the enthusiasm they desired, opening the opportunity for TEC Group to become a new partner.

Services Provided

Given the discipline-specific nature of their business, we appointed an account director who ensured that requirements were distributed effectively and properly to the consultant at TEC Group whose specialism matched the need. Our response times and effective engagement of contractors was under close scrutiny as a new supplier and was vital that was were able to expertly match the engineer to the need, control the process and ensure that the engagement was carried through to the life of the contract.

Result

In less than 18 months, TEC Group is a ‘first tier supplier’ (among only 3 others), with 21 current contractors engaged by Worley Parsons. We now count them as a top client and they see us as a valued and important supplier.

Worley Parsons carried out an audit on all contractors engaged through TEC Group last year and the conclusion was that we were totally compliant, ensuing all contractors were paid in full and on time.

Worley Parsons


Case Study # 5Long-term working relationship

Company: KBR

Location: UK

Date: 2010 – present and ongoing

Background

KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company with a strong presence in the Oil & Gas industry.

Services Provided

TEC Group supports over 50 contractors with KBR and provides insurance cover for all overseas travel – including Middle East, USA and Mexico. Our intimate knowledge of their business, close working relationship and flexibility around their needs has allowed us to become their top supplier.
